Celtic are still celebrating after their dramatic Scottish Premiership title win on Sunday, as they beat fellow title rivals Hearts 3-1 at Parkhead to pip them to the title on the final day.

The Hoops were third and three points behind the leaders Hearts when the Scottish Premiership split last month, knowing they probably needed to win all five of their remaining matches after the divide to lift the trophy again.

And that is exactly what Martin O’Neill and his men did, beating Motherwell away and Rangers and Hearts at home to end the campaign on 82 points, two ahead of Derek McInnes’ side and ten ahead of their Old Firm rivals, who lost four of their five games after the split despite losing only twice in 33 games prior to it.

Nevertheless, after being run so close by Hearts for the title, some big changes to the Celtic squad should still be expected this summer to ensure this doesn’t happen again.

Celtic Transfer Breakthrough Reached for Luis Palma

Lech Poznan have just won the Polish league title, and now their club chiefs want to have a strong go at qualification for the Champions League.

According to Goal in Poland, the squad could undergo a revamp during the summer transfer window, while the club has been considering signing Luis Palma on a permanent basis following his loan spell from Celtic.

The 26-year-old shone in the first half of the season for Lech Poznan, which saw supporters wanting his €4m buy option to be activated, but a quieter second half to the season meant that the Polish champions wanted to bring the price down for the Honduras international.

Goal report that despite Poznan sending many offers over the past few weeks, Celtic haven’t been keen to accept, until they received an offer worth €2.5m.

An agreement has been reached and a breakthrough found in what will be a club-record deal for Lech Poznan.

Changes Needed for Celtic on the Wing

Despite their amazing end to the season, it appears as though the wide positions at Celtic do need strengthening over the summer transfer window.

The Hoops simply haven’t had the attacking output needed from wide positions throughout the campaign, with Kieran Tierney the top assister in the Scottish Premiership this season with eight.

Daizen Maeda and Benjamin Nygren are next up with six and five respectively, but both have played through the centre more often than not.

It’s the same situation in terms of goals too, with Yang Hyun-Jun the most impressive wide performer across the season with eight, with Sebastian Tounekti next up on two.

Celtic clearly need an injection of quality there for next season, although they will also hope to be boosted by the return of Jota next term after a long spell on the sidelines with an ACL injury.
